Expect The Unexpected!!!

The more I expect.. the worse it gets! This is what I've learned in life so far! Humans in general have tendency to have expectations from every other human being. In many cases, this leads to aweful amount of stress creating emotional distress, conflicts, breakdowns, mistrusts, misunderstandings and what not! Expectations can be from one's one self or from others. Both of them have caused trouble for me atleast! When they are not fulfilled on the others side... it just leaves me a lil hurt! But when the expectations are not met by own standards.. Life gets really bad! Its like low self-esteem, depression, feeling of underachievement. I've learnt from many sources that we should expect less from others to keep one's self out of this frustration caused. But the question that haunts me then is what shall I do about my own expectations! If I'd stop that... I probably wont be able to achieve anything at all in the end! I'm way too lazy! The failures have always made me strive harder next time! and these failures obviously do have a psychological effect! This post comes out of some emotional distress caused by a few near and dear ones in recent times! I have no grudges left now! I am not expecting anything anymore! :) Life is beautiful... Its just the matter of how I see it! Its bad when I look at the sorry state of kids on street, but when I get back home to see the amazing smile on my luvly sister's face (She is such a sweetheart) life becomes worth living every moment! Its the unexpected kiss she'd give me once in a while that causes enormous amount of happiness inside and not the stupid stress that expected expectations cause!

Moral of the post : Expect Less & Be Happy!
